South Africa - Startup under 3 years old

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

Mental Health - Worldwide Pandemic is a new movement that aims at not only bringing awareness on mental health , but educate and break the stigma around those diagnosed with any mental health condition.

01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

Two years ago I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety as such , I have been on and off medication and therapy , I have had episodes whereby not only did my family not understand but thought I was crazy , bewitched or even disgusting. This is an initiative that I pray and hope can educate not only those diagnosed with mental health conditions , but to make families understand how to care , show love and offer support ti family members who have any kind of mental health diagnosis. I am well aware that we have a lot of these organisations focusing on this issue , however my aim is to reach people on a much broader scale , not only through social media but other means as well , specifically in my country South Africa it is not everyone who has access to social media as such I have an idea of actively reaching people through community outreach programs , helping people understand that there are also government resources that are available for those with no resources for private help

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The main problem is that mental health is not as focused on as other medical conditions ( cancer , HIV , TB etc) , we only think about or talk about mental health when someone we know be it famous or a family member has committed suicide , we only talk about it once it has happened to someone or during May and October when it's mental health awareness months. Mental health is a topic that needs to be taught constantly at schools , workplace and entire communities. People need to know and be aware on a daily basis that there are mental health illness that people are suffering from and they're doing so silently because of the stigma around it , so the aim of this project , is to educate , raise constant awareness , and break the stigma surrounding mental health illness. And help people get access to mental health care as there are so many around us who have no idea where to even go and get help , especially the less privileged .

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).

Advantages ; Support System ; Social Support ; Unprompted Check-ins ; Positive Influence ; Healthy Distractions ;Professional Referrals According to a recent report published by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health, one in six American adults faces mental health problems. The conditions that lead to this range from mild to debilitating. The good news is that in most cases, adults can take the necessary steps to reclaim control of their lives. This involves understanding the importance of a support system, which may include not just family and friends but even perfect strangers. Researchers have also said that having a strong support system has many positive benefits. Some of the best benefits include higher levels of well-being, better coping skills, and a longer healthier life. Having a support system has also been proven to reduce depression and anxiety and reduce stress. In order for us to thrive, we need a support system to be there for us when we are in need.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adresse le produit/service de votre startup. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

Mental health is a worldwide pandemic , the initiative is aimed at reaching as many people as possible , if possible even outside pandemic. In South Africa, 9% of all teenage deaths are due to suicide and the numbers are increasing. Panic attacks and anxiety disorders are more than just feeling nervous or worried. Just over 40 pupils have committed suicide in Gauteng province alone in the past year. This is a community , the aim is to reach as many people as possible even more so schools , both privileged and underprivileged , it's a community aimed at supporting , educating , raising awareness and break the stigma.
